Hi All, I am facing a bit of a tough time with Win32::OLE (Perl version 5.12) on 64bit XP PC running Apache 2.2.All applications are on 32bit (perl,apache and third-party com object). The problem is - if i start apache as a service on Win-XP, my Cgi script doesn't create COM instance and fails with an error saying "Server execution failed" when i attempt to execute the script remotely. However when i run apache server from command prompt (not as a service) my Cgi script works fine and passes data back to remote machine without any issues. Given all applications are on 32bit, I don't think its an issue of calling a 32bit dll from within a 64bit perl process. Any idea what's going wrong? Your kind help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers
